I bought this phone mainly for the camera and flip design.
Newer phones now have 1 or 2 megapixel cameras, but this doesn't bother me as I use a digital camera, rather than my phone to take pictures now.
I still love the flip design.
It looks quite stylish, and most people who see it are intrigued by its shape and design.
It has been dropped and thrown around a lot, yet it still manages to hold itself together. Yes, the back panel slides off a lot easier, but it is still holding on.
The Nokia menu and features make it easy to use, and I like the way it is set out.
The calculator, calender, and timers are brilliant.
The battery has lasted.
The only bad points are the screen being quite small (although the quality is still very good), and the phone looks a bit square.
It also went through a short phase of turning itself off and reverting to loudspeaker, when receiving some calls. This stopped quickly though, and it went back to normal without me having to have it fixed or a replacement.
I bought it sim free when it was first released, so paid over £300. Although it has been a great phone, I would rather have paid about £200 for it.
For my next phone I will be going for a more rounded design, but I intend to stick with Nokia.

The Nokia 7200 is not a bad phone and I quite liked it when I first got it but the retro style menus are quite plain and dull and don't match the phone as a modern handset.

Well, where do I start? Abysmal service. My Mum bought the same phone a week after me and both within the first month were turning off either when the flip was closed or even during calls. Finally managed to get a replacement 7200 for both of us built again, the 2 replacement ones were the same, if not worse! These would turn off when scrolling through the menu system or during calls. Disappointing as I think the phone is very good look/style/features, but Nokia should stick to what they know best - business phones. Stay away from the flip!

This is Nokias first clamshell phone and they have done a pretty good job. The phone is small but solid, and well made. The functions are good the camera is very good as is the video, as some have said the screen is small but is very high quality, and very clear. The ringtones are good and loud. It comes with a small carry case for it good for carrying it in a bag. Overall a nice bit of kit.

I upgraded from a Nokia 6800 which was on O2 and I could get no signal so I upgraded to the 7200 and I am glad I did. The 6800 had very little features. The 7200 has very good features and brilliant camera quality but the only problem is the main screen is too small, that is the only problem I've found.

I must admit. I only bought this Nokia 7200 mobile phone for the look of it. I love the look of it. It's so unusual. But the screen is tiny and isn't very clear when you take pictures, but like I said, I didn't buy the phone for that.
If you want a phone that's stylish - this is the one. Screen background matches the style of the phone. The keypad is retro and I love the suade feel of the cover.
If you want a phone to send and take photo's and to record video clips, buy something else. The technology here seems dated.
I, however, am loving the phone and would recommend it to everyone who craves style!

Only just got the Nokia 7200 mobile phone so these are really first impressions, if you want a phone that feels like there is something in your hand then this is it. Being male i have large fingers and the buttons suit me just fine. I bought it without seeing it on the description only and i am not disappointed, my previous phone was an SL55, ok but too small and the one before that a 3650 ok but ugly. The pics are ok if that`s relevant as is the video. If this performs well, and Nokia add bluetooth to future incarnations then it will be my next phone also.
